I dont think anyone can doubt the logic of having a common source directory
for certain common files. So what is the 'right' way to handle this
situation?
(other than generating object files in the source directory :P)
The "right" thing to do here to for the common routines to be in a separate library, which is then linked by the subproject. Sometimes this means re-ordering the build so that the core sublibs get built before any subproject rely on them.
